Natural Hair?

Is it a little bit strange to say Blue Ivy's appearance in the video is "tied in to Beyonce's appreciation for natural hair" because she and the two other girls "sported natural afros?" They're just children. Unless there's a source for this, or Beyonce has commented on it specifically, I think it's a leap. Sadiemonster (talk) 14:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While the article's language is a bit clumsy, the idea is appropriate. The relevant lyric is "I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros", presumably a response to critics of Blue Ivy's natural hair. --Stargirl7 (talk) 23:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
